Creditor’s Rights and Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy Attorneys in Poughkeepsie

Advocates of creditor’s rights in consumer and business bankruptcy cases

The recent proliferation of business and consumer bankruptcy filings nationally has caused a domino effect, affecting lenders and forcing them to tighten credit, thereby slowing the overall economy. There are very good and humane reasons for allowing businesses and individuals to get out from under debt they can never hope to repay, but when bankruptcy filings become a casual way of shedding obligations, they damage innocent parties while allowing irresponsible actors to escape natural and foreseeable consequences. A healthy economy requires a healthy balance where risk-taking is not severely punished but creditor rights are upheld, so the system remains sufficiently capitalized to fuel economic expansion. Handel & Carlini, LLP advocates for creditors in business and consumer bankruptcy proceedings to ensure that lending institutions remain robust and our local Hudson River Valley economy prospers.

The firm also has substantial experience in reorganization and liquidation cases and has represented our clients’ interests in bankruptcies throughout the New York/New Jersey region. We actively represent clients on issues pertaining to assumption and rejection of executory contracts and real estate leases; protection of cash collateral; post-petition financing, plan structure and confirmation; and the acquisition and sales of assets in bankruptcy.

We are also active in representing clients in bankruptcy hearings and litigation matters which include: automatic stay litigation and enforcement; objections to discharge; preference and fraudulent conveyance litigation; lender liability claims; contested proceedings regarding the use of cash collateral and objections to claims; and contested disclosure statement and plan confirmation hearings.
